Husband's Foot Red and Swollen?My husband woke up a couple days ago and had a sore right foot, now it it swollen and the top has a big red patch on it. He didn't get bitten, or anything like that. The doctor thinks it's a normal infection but my husband doesn't think it is. He can barely walk on it, The doctor said it's not Gout. What else could it be? My husand is in his 20s, average weight, and overall healthly. He can wiggle and scrunch his toes a bit and says that doesn't hurt. Only pain in when he moves his foot and walks. Any ideas on what causes a suddenly red swollen foot?
Thanks.

I would agree with the doctor that it sounds like the foot is infected. An infection occurs when bacteria enters the body through an open area (most likely a cut or scrap) and the body is unable to fight off the invasion. I'm sure the doctor prescribed antibiotics. Make sure your husband follows the direction and takes all the pills. The pain and swelling will go down as the antibiotics start to work.
Good luck!
